"First let me say that I called Herb on a Sunday, it was about 5 degrees outside (felt like 20 below) and it was Valentines day.  He told me he could get here in a couple of hours and we were fine with that because we turned off the main water source to the house so further damage would be prevented. Then I realized we have forced hot water heat and when I called to tell him he said "I'll run to Home Depot and be right there because you can't go without heat in this weather."
Once he got here he figured out the location of the pipe that burst. He had to cut through a small portion of the wall and replace the pipe. 
Herb is professional, fair, honest and very dependable. He didn't charge us for an "Emergency Call" which all of the big plumbing companies do. They charge $150 just to walk through the door. Herb's prices are fair and reasonable.
I would recommend Herb to anyone who needs work done in your home. He is a "Jack of all trades" and is well versed in many areas. I know if you hire him you won't be over charged, jerked around and there certainly won't be any "surprise" charges added to your bill. These are all things we have experienced with other contractors.

"Would highly recommend par holdings to anyone that needs electrical work done. They handled everything from the permit to calling the town inspector. Dennis sr and Dennis Jr were both wonderful to deal with. Had the work done on time, on budget, and no stress. I highly recommend their company for anything that you might need."

"Walter and Glen at Protect Your Home Group with ADT are the best people to talk to in terms of security alarm. Being a locksmith myself I know how important it is to deal with the right people. I referred a lot of customers to them and so far they are happy with their service. I myself got one for my house. Thank you for a consistent service and great deal."

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

It is best to use a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, for door locks. Unlike popular oil-based lubricants, dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating that does not attract dust, dirt, and other debris. Using an oil-based lubricant can cause these particles to build up inside the lock, making it difficult to operate or even damaging the internal mechanism. You can find dry lubricants, some of which are made specifically for locks, at most hardware stores.

Deadbolts are solid and durable as can be, but the pin and tumbler can still be forced open, thus making this type of lock susceptible to picking. Most types of deadbolts are harder to pick than a traditional spring-based lock, though. It requires a specialized lock pick and a tension wrench to align all of the pins, thus unlocking the door. 

In general, keyless door locks are considered safe, and their security depends on the type and quality of the lock. They cannot be picked like a traditional lock and often include added features like biometric access, PIN codes, and smartphone connectivity, which can make them more secure. However, they are not without risks. Potential vulnerabilities include hacking for Wi-Fi-connected models, battery failure, power outages, and technical malfunctions. To maximize security, it is important to choose a reliable brand, stay on top of software updates, and perform regular maintenance. While the risks are different, keyless locks are not considered more dangerous than traditional locks.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.

The easiest way to pick a lock is by using a titanium rake pick. This type of lock pick comes in a variety of shapes used to simulate different key configurations but generally has a tip with a bent design. Rake picks are the most beginner-friendly lockpicks and the simplest to learn how to use.
